I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Google (Kraków) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process consisted of two main stages. The first stage included an algorithmic coding interview and a behavioral discussion focused on past experience, teamwork, and problem-solving approach. The second stage was more technical, with a stronger focus on algorithms, data structures, optimization, and explaining trade-offs while solving the problem.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design an algorithm to assign students to dorm rooms based on their preferences, such as whether they want to live alone or with roommates, in a way that maximizes the number of satisfied students.
There are four DSA rounds. The first round was of 45 minutes. Asked a medium difficulty DSA question in first round. The interviewer focused on implementation rather than logic which was just absurd.
